Warner Bros. is gearing up for a festive holiday season at the box office, with three big releases scheduled for the week of December 15th. On December 15th, we have the prequel to Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book, Wonka, starring Timothée Chalamet as the titular chocolate factory owner. On December 20th, we have the sequel to the 2018 DC superhero hit, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, with Jason Momoa returning as the King of Atlantis. And on Christmas Day, we have the musical adaptation of Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Color Purple, starring Fantasia Barrino in the lead role.
Warner Bros. Delayed Some Films
It’s an ambitious release schedule, but Warner Bros. is clearly hoping to capitalize on the holiday moviegoing season. And with three such different films on offer, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Wonka is sure to be a hit with families and fans of the original book. Chalamet is one of the most popular young actors working today, and he’s sure to bring a unique and interesting take to the role of Willy Wonka. The film is also directed by Paul King, who helmed the critically acclaimed Paddington films, so we can expect a lot of heart and humor.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is sure to please fans of the first film and fans of DC superheroes in general. The film reportedly features some stunning visuals and epic action sequences. And with Jason Momoa reprising his role as the titular hero, we’re sure to have a lot of fun.
The Color Purple is a more serious film, but it’s sure to be a powerful and moving experience. The story follows the struggles of an African American woman in the early 20th century, and it’s a testament to the human spirit. The film also features a star-studded cast, including Oprah Winfrey, Fantasia Barrino, and Taraji P. Henson.
